Creating Arrays
Before creating arrays, make sure the disks for the array are connected
and installed in your system. Note that disks with no usable space, or disks
that are un-initialized are shown in gray and cannot be used. See Initializ-
ing Disk Drives.
To create an array:
1 Turn on your computer and press Ctrl+A when prompted to access the
ARC utility.
2 From the ARC menu, select Array Configuration Utility Main Menu
(ACU) (as shown on the first screen on page B-5).
3 From the ACU menu, select Create Array.
4 Select the disks for the new array and press Insert (as the screen shown
below).
(*Note: To deselect any disk, highlight the disk and press Delete.)
5 Press Enter when both disks for the new array are selected. The Array
Properties menu displays (as the screen shown on the next page).
